A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

Life used to have a nice rhythm to it around your burrow. Today, however, you're woken up by machine noises, and a strong scent of cut wood.

Take control of a small family of forest mice in this turn-based adventure, and guide them, away from their endangered burrow, to somewhere they can build a safe home again. Beware - humans like to keep pets.

i dont know what im supposed to do. i moved mice behind house :P
screenshot 3 is not in the game? (webgl)

Sorry! We found out well after submitting that the web build doesn't render the green goal area you're supposed to bring the mice to. It's there in the downloadable desktop builds, along with slightly better graphics.
